Reply to Doh! (looking at reviews) in War of Magic Stardock Forums

[quote who="Rhaegor75" reply="47" id="2740792"]99% accurate. Quite getting hung up on one little point. He obviously was in beta and played multiplayer. Just because you have not, does not mean someone else hasn't.[/quote] Haha. You're funny. He was in beta but makes no mention of any beta? Damn, what a good journalist. The dude clearly knows nothing about the game, read the review and you can see the generic shit pieced together from forum posts and the offi

Reply to Doh! (looking at reviews) in War of Magic Stardock Forums

[quote who="Rhaegor75" reply="45" id="2740775"]Both the reviews in the OP are 100% accurate. I am enjoying messing around with EWOM right now, but the game is hardly finished and has tons of bugs and flaws. In a few months I am sure it will be better, but don't hate on those reviewers because I have played EWOM a lot these past few days and they are spot on accurate with their criticisms.[/quote] 100% accurate? The 1UP review refers to a "robust mult

[quote who="commanderpwg" reply="39" id="2740692"]Another fair review given this time by 1up. Everyone wants this game to be good but the reality is that in its current form it simply is not. I'd give it a D right now, the only reason it doesn't get an F is because it has so much potential.[/quote] You are totally missing the point. And in fact, you are probably doing exactly what the reviewer did. You glanced at the information and jumped to conclusions. We don't

[quote]Well, the A.I. problems are fixed to some degree by the robust multiplayer (if you can find friends willing to slog through the ugliest visuals since finger-painting class)[/quote] Eric Neigher, the reviewer, probably wanted to slack off on his job and go to lunch early or something. Here's an indie game, almost no hype or advertising, it'll go under people's radar. So if he bullshits, no big deal, even if people notice, the backlash is not going to be huge. What a clow

[quote who="BoydofZINJ" reply="54" id="2739608"]The question people should be asking is ... Why do reviewers judge a game when it comes out? I believe many of these people believe that a game should be nearly complete when it comes out.[/quote] Umm... it should be nearly complete when it comes out. You kidding me? How can you even make this argument? I love Stardock as much as the next guy, but you people need to stop drinking their kool-aid wi

Reply to 1.06 - Buggy Or Lucky? in War of Magic Stardock Forums

You started ONE game and spawned next to lots of goodies. Your conclusion is that this must be a bug or balance issue. Good sample size, bro. I mean, geez, at least start a few other games and share your results.

Reply to Please Stardock/Brad Make them Register to Post in War of Magic Stardock Forums

If what you propose was in effect, I would not have been able to sign up and talk to the community and the devs. As a result of that, I would not have bought the game. I do like the idea of registering the serials to give you some kind of badge under your name to indicate the ownership. They can also list the time played pulled from impulse so that you know the level of expertise of the user.

You know, there comes a point when you go beyond "supporting" and are just explicitly licking their balls. Are you seriously denying YOURSELF a legal discount because you have some misplaced feeling of loyalty? I mean, why don't you support them by donating money?

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="21" id="2721837"]You guys don't want to know what we gave up (financially) to be able to give out the bonus quests to all users after 90 days.[/quote] I'm sure it's worth it for what we users have collectively given up (financially) for this game. I'm okay with 90 days, but prior knowledge about the bonuses would have been appreciated.

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="1" id="2721722"]Yes. You will all get the same stuff at some point later on. Best Buy and Walmart paid for additional content to be made (just like Random House did for the book). But in the case of the retailers, it was agreed that all content that was made for them would be able to be given out to all players within 90 days.[/quote] Why not just disclose this information beforehand?

[quote who="kryo" reply="10" id="2721650"]Best Buy purchasers will get some minor extra stuff post-release (it's not ready yet), and I'm told Walmart buyers will get something as well. We'll be notifying those people once the content is available.[/quote] Do us lowly online purchasers get nothing, then? Awesome.

Reply to Sunday Morning has come and Gone, "Midday" is just about over? Update Please? in War of Magic Stardock Forums

[quote who="Crazy Dan" reply="89" id="2721126"] Quoting MxM111, reply 66 Quoting fatindian, reply 47 I still have a point. Brad saying preorders and beta testers getting it early is the "privilege" part. Release date is 24th, that hasn't changed. Just because you call it privilege does not make it any different. People have pre-ordered to get this privilege, thus it is their privilege and they are understandably upset when the promise was not fulfilled.
